Psoraleae Fructus (the dried fruits of Psoralea corylifolia),one of the most frequently used Chinese herbs in Asian countries,has a variety of biological activities.In clinical settings,Psoraleae Fructus or Psoraleae Fructus-related herbal medicines frequently have been used in combination with a number of therapeutic drugs for the treatment of various human diseases,such as leukoderma,rheumatism and dysentery.The use of Psoraleae Fructus in combination with drugs has aroused concern of the potential risks of herb-drug interactions (HDI) or herb-endobiotic interactions (HEI).This article reviews the interactions between human drug-metabolizing enzymes and the constituents of Psoraleae Fructus;the major constituents in Psoraleae Fructus,along with their chemical structures and metabolic pathways are summarized,and the inhibitory and inductive effects of the constituents in Psoraleae Fructus on human drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs),including target enzyme(s),its modulatory potency,and mechanisms of action are presented.Collectively,this review summarizes current knowledge of the interactions between the Chinese herb Psoraleae Fructus and therapeutic drugs in an effort to facilitate its rational use in clinical settings,and especially to avoid the potential risks of HDI or HEI through human DMEs.
